Actually,
George W. Bush has more than one America. When I go to the local
WalMart store in Rohnert Park, California, I see one aspect of
George W. Bush's America. I see working class poor. I see people
earning at or near the minimum wage, recent and past immigrants,
people with low education and job skills, and I wonder how America
managed to become a superpower with all these undereducated,
underperforming people in the general population.

There is nothing
about the WalMart America which should dominate the entire planet,
and the WalMart America is the direction that America the
superpower is headed. If George W. Bush was named George W. Jones,
with his skill set and intellect, George W. Bush would be a
charter member of WalMart America.

There is another
America, which also is George W. Bush's America. It is also
located in Sonoma County, California, the home of the Rohnert Park
WalMart.

This is the
Bohemian Club America, where the power elite from across the
political spectrum meets in luxurious, but rustic retreats to
network and party. Bohemian Club America is the powerful America,
the land baron America, the corporate America, where the strings
are pulled. Bohemian Club Americans are the landlords and
employers of WalMart America. Bohemian Club America sends signals
to the American government as to when to send troops overseas to
conquer markets. Bohemian Club America sets favorable tax programs
that concentrate wealth in the hands of the few, and maintain the
status quo. Bohemian Club Americans carry the pedigrees that are
missing in the mongrel Americans of WalMart America. George W.
Bush, has the pedigree that elevates him into Bohemian Club
America, an America of wealth, power and privilege, not because of
talent or skill, but only because of pedigree.

When one looks at
the history of America, the relentless land grabbing genocides of
native peoples, the establishment of a constitution and
governmental system and legal system favoring the landed and the
wealthy, and the military interventions across the hemisphere and
eventually across the globe to favor corporate machinations, one
better understands the America of George W. Bush.

One understands
how power, wealth, and influence must be hoarded and managed in
secrecy. One understands how George W. Bush's main concern with
prisoner abuses in Iraq is that he was not told about the photos
before they reached the press, because his handlers could have
concocted rationales and lawyeresque obfuscations and diversions
of blame and responsibility. George W. Bush has no more concern
over the abuse of Iraqis than his forebears had over genocide of
the native inhabitants of Kennebunkport or the Staked Plains near
Lubbock.

George W. Bush's
America takes what it wants. George W. Bush's America is an
America that grew its economy under the barrel of a gun; sending
Smedley Butler and the U.S. Marines to make the world safe for
United Bank and Chiquita banana and Dole pineapple. The resulting
economic activity and cheap raw materials and foreign labor add up
to make the U.S. WalMart shopper a beneficiary of bargain
merchandise, the sales of which end up fueling booming stock
markets and enriching investment portfolios of the Bohemian Club
crowd.

It is a big cycle
of American enrichment at the expense of the world, particularly
the Third World. But the cycle is based on manipulations, raw
military might, heavy debt, and forced deprivation of
non-Americans, particularly non-white, poor non-Americans. Even
Americans of color and low social/economic status live in relative
luxury compared with Africans and South Asians who would consider
WalMart Americans rich and privileged.

Both WalMart
America and Bohemian Club America are George W. Bush's America,
and both are now at their peak of power and ready for a hard fall.
WalMart Americans want cheap merchandise, but fail to understand
that low wages, low benefits, and corporate greed will ultimately
reduce wealth and purchasing ability of the deluded who believe
they are benefiting from bottom feeding in the food chain. The
bottom will get lower and lower and lower until the trap is
sprung, from which there is no easy or painless escape.

The Bohemian Club
America will eventually find that power is ephemeral, the empires
come and go, and that victims around the world have long memories.

Bohemian Club
America will also learn that natural cycles of planetary
ecological health are the basis of true wealth, and that
pauperizing the planet for short-term profit is a bad business
plan. The current and future realities of finite natural resources
must be balanced against the insanity of infinite greed. The
alterations of global climate in the name of profit and the
resistance against environmental protections will ultimately
diminish the portfolios of the Boheminan Club Americans, because
you cannot grow corn or caviar with investment certificates and
you cannot unchange the climate by running out of petroleum after
important thresholds of change have been crossed.

George W. Bush's
America has had its run in world history. It has proved once again
that human civilizations cycle -- they come and go. George W.
Bush's America is the prototype of the unsustainable human
civilization, reaching new heights of wealth, while pauperizing
the planet and making future generations of human life on the
planet much more fragile, uncomfortable, and making the world a
much more dangerous place in the interim.

The America of
George W. Bush will not quietly go into the night of its own
making. The struggle to sustain the unsustainable will likely be
violent and murderous. The world, the planet, and the human race
will ultimately reject George W. Bush's America and cast it out
like a foreign body, a virus, a splinter, a piece of shrapnel. But
first must come a fever and sweat and pain and probably a near
death experience.

That is the
reality of George W. Bush's America. As Ward Churchill stated, the
chickens are coming home to roost. George, do you hear the
clucking?
